U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 18 to explore a potential ceasefire in Ukraine. This follows positive discussions between U.S. and Russian officials in Moscow, raising hopes for progress in the three-year conflict.
Trump aims to secure Putin’s support for a 30-day ceasefire proposal, already accepted by Ukraine. The talks are expected to address contentious issues, including territorial divisions and control over power plants. While Ukraine remains firm on its sovereignty, Russia has outlined strict conditions, such as Ukraine’s neutrality and exclusion from NATO membership.
The upcoming discussions mark a critical moment in the conflict, with international allies closely monitoring the situation and preparing for potential peacekeeping efforts. The outcome of the talks could significantly shape the future of the region and broader geopolitical dynamics.
